Sporty Andy is ADSA’s New Education Supremo

A new education and training supremo has joined the Automatic Door Suppliers Association (ADSA) to help deliver new structures and policies to support its training delivery and give it ‘fresh eyes and a new perspective’.

Andy Tilley has been appointed as ADSA’s new Business Administrator/Training Tutor & Education.

He has a wealth of experience in education and commercial training but is new to the world of powered pedestrian doors.

Andy said:

“For me, that’s meant learning the industry from the ground up and getting involved in day-to-day operations, from understanding how training booking systems operate and how the CSCS card system works to setting up a training room.

“The ADSA team has been really responsive to someone who has come in with a training mindset, set of expectations and even vocabulary totally different from anything it has probably come across before. 

“As a result, we have already made subtle changes to our excellent existing suite of training programmes.”

He added:

“It takes a lot of courage for people in an already successful organisation to be open to considering new ways of doing things mooted by ‘the new boy’.

Andy began his career as a sports journalist and, in his spare time, still enjoys ‘groundhopping’ - visiting ‘obscure’ non-league football grounds across Europe, which he combines with a love of photography.

He has worked extensively in primary and secondary education, including with young people who have special educational needs and disabilities, and as a commercial tutor delivering Health & Safety, Manual Handling, Care Sector and First Aid qualifications to industry and public sector organisations.

Andy has also worked with disengaged young people – those who were absent or at risk of becoming absent from education – and over-50s who had been unemployed for long periods.

Originally from Derby and a graduate of Aberdeen University, Andy has an MA Hons in Philosophy and AET qualifications in Education And Training and as an Assessor/Coach.

ADSA MD Ken Price welcomed Andy to the team:

“We are delighted Andy has joined the team. Learning and development is a very big part of ADSA’s ‘offer’.

“His expertise will help reinforce our output and ensure that it remains robust and adaptable in order to meet the changing needs of our industry.”
